The Norse horse Sleipnir...The eight legged horse was so fast that it would ride through the fires of hell without getting burned...(imagine that!) Like the pizza in the hot oven....baked but unscathed.

Willard, the pic is a bit "intense". Your written explanation above adds meaning, but without the explanation, I don't make the connection.

Regarding the woodcut --- I think it is so good that you are obliged to use it!

If you can just get a digital reproduction then that's what I'd do. Trusting someone to reproduce that freehand is asking for trouble, in my opinion/experience. It's beautiful and totally awesome the way you've shown it.
